FULLY ONLINE
Your training and teaching practice will be in an online learning environment with groups of learners and observed by your trainer. This is particularly useful if you want the flexibility of online study, if you want to limit travel costs, or if you plan to teach English online as you’ll learn more about the digital tools needed |
FACE 2 FACE
Your teaching practice will be in a classroom with groups of learners and observed by your trainer. Your training sessions will be face-to-face or a combination with online study. This is especially suitable if you prefer studying face-to-face, if you only want to teach face-to-face classes, or if you want to travel to take your CELTA in a particular place. |
MIXED MODE ie a combination of Face2Face and Online
Your training may be online, face-to-face or a blend of online and face-to-face. Your teaching practice will include face-to-face lessons in a classroom and lessons in an online learning environment. Your teaching practice will be with groups of learners and observed by your trainer. This is particularly good if you want to get experience of both online and face-to-face teaching. |

IF A CANDIDATE IS NOT OFFERED AN INTERVIEW

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE INTERVIEW
After your interview we will email you with our offer. This may be an unconditional offer or a conditional offer.
- An unconditional offer is made to candidates who at interview are considered to be strong enough to attend the type/s of course/s they have selected on the start date/s they have selected.
- A conditional offer will usually be made to candidates who are required to fulfil certain conditions before they can join the course. Conditional offers may require candidates to fulfil certain conditions before they can join the type of course/s on the date/s they have selected or may propose that candidates select an alternative type of course and/or start date that may be more suitable. eg if a candidate has selected to join a full time mixed mode course in their application form but at interview they prove to have very limited IT skills, we may suggest that this candidate either improve their IT skills before they join or consider joining a face2 face course instead.
